Chapter 60: Puppetry
After entering the village, he didn't see a single figure for a long time, until Ning Feng knocked on the door of one of the families.
"Who!"
A man's voice came from inside, but no one opened the door for a long time.
"It's me, Uncle Chen, I'm Ning Feng."
Knocking on the door again, after a few breaths, the wooden door was opened a crack, and after seeing Ning Feng outside, he asked again, "What about them?" Who are they? ”
The whole process seemed cautious, which made everyone feel strange.
"Uncle Chen, they are big shots, they are adults from the Martial Mansion of Snow Night City."
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Chen immediately opened the door, knelt directly on the ground and took a few steps forward with his knees, and then kowtowed again and again and shouted: "Help, help!" ”
Wanda frowned slightly, and after glancing at Jiang Yin, he took two steps forward and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"My lord, my lord must save us, or we won't be able to live!"
"In the past few months, there is no prey in the mountains, bandits are rampant outside, and we will not be happy to live two times in three days! My lord! ”
"Got it! Got it! "Wanda is a little impatient, we are here to help you solve this matter, but you have to cooperate with us.
"That's great, I'll cooperate, I will."
When he stood up, Ning Feng came to him and asked, "Uncle Chen, I heard that you found a huge snake skin in the mountains in the past three months, I don't know if you brought it back." ”
Hearing Ning Feng mention this, Uncle Chen looked very frightened, looked around and then whispered, "Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about?" That's the mountain god, how dare we mortals touch his things casually and look for death! ”
Ning Feng was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and at this time Jiang Yin stepped forward and said, "Uncle Chen, why do you say that thing is a mountain god?" Have any of you seen it? ”
When Uncle Chen talked about this, he always felt mysterious, and he whispered when he approached Jiang Yin.
"Back to my lord, that thing can call the wind and rain and spit out people's words, what else can it be if it is not a mountain god?"
"Oh? So what does it tell you? ”
Uncle Chen squinted at the location of the mountainside, and everyone followed his gaze and found that a new house had been built halfway up the mountain.
Then I listened to him continue: "One night a few days ago, the sky was full of stars, and the moon was very large and round. ”
"But all of a sudden, there was a black fog, and there was no light around, and everyone was still wondering, when they suddenly heard someone in the mountains."
"The voice was deafening, like a god, it said it was the god of the mountain, and asked us to set up a tablet for it, and worship it every day, and the location in the middle of the mountain was also the place he designated."
Jiang Yin's eyes narrowed, and he understood why this thing was not harmful for the time being.
I didn't expect it to be so smart and think of such a solution.
Whether it is a human or a demon or even an animal or a plant without exception, as long as someone sincerely sets up a tablet for him to worship, then he can sit back and enjoy his achievements and obtain merit every day.
In this way, it does not need to harm people for the time being.
However, it eats all the animals in the nearby mountains, and it does not bring any benefit to the people at all, and to put it bluntly, it is not advisable to use threats and intimidation to make the people worship him.
"Understood, let's go, let's go up and have a look! You two will stay in the village! ”
After Jiang Yin finished speaking, he was about to set off to the halfway up the mountain to see the ancestral hall where the archway was erected.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Chen immediately stretched out his hand to stop them, and said eagerly: "My lord, the mountain god has explained, only every day, people from this village can go to the village, and at any other time, no one can approach, especially people who are not from this village." ”
"Bold!"
Before Jiang Yin could speak, Wanda immediately shouted violently, which frightened Uncle Chen.
"Do you know who Immortal Master Jiang is? You dare to stop in front of you, just this alone, I can punish you nine clans. ”
As soon as Wanda's words fell, Uncle Chen immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "My lord's life, my lord's life!" The little ones are also worried about the safety of adults. ”
"Humph!"
Wanda shook his hand, snorted coldly, and walked sideways with Jiang Yin to the mountain.
Seeing the three of them walking towards the mountain, Uncle Chen kowtowed again and again and muttered, "The mountain god atonements, the mountain god atonements!" ”
The Ning Wei brothers and sisters on his side didn't know what to do, but they looked at the mountainside in a complicated mood.
Halfway up the mountain, only one new room was built, and it was empty, except for a plaque standing in the center, carved with the appearance of a dragon.
The dragon on the plaque is lifelike, as if it is alive.
Jiang Yin got closer, stared closely at the dragon on the plaque, and suddenly found that the dragon's two eyes seemed to move.
Jiang Yin was taken aback, and immediately pinched the magic trick, and the manifestation spell was played.
However, it didn't play any role, and since this thing didn't work on the manifestation spell, it should be a demon.
However, why does a demon make this statue look so weird?
At this moment, a strange sound was heard, as if the whole mountain was shaking, and the rustling sound was like raindrops hitting the leaves.
It was as if the whole mountain was ringing.
After a while, the trees in the mountain forest swayed and snaked down from the top of the mountain.
"Be careful, that's coming."
Jiang Yin reminded him, and the three of them all looked at the place where the trees were shaking.
In the open space, everyone saw a body more than three feet in diameter coming down the mountain.
The thing was pitch black, its scales glowing like metal in the sunlight.
Suddenly, a huge head with a house-sized mouth lifted up from the woods and protested at the trio.
Uncle Chen, who had been looking up in the village, suddenly sat down on the ground in fright and shouted loudly.
"Oh no, the mountain god is angry, the mountain god is angry!"
He shouted in his voice, and the villagers hiding in the house went out curiously, and when they saw the giant snake facing the three of them halfway up the mountain, they were all so frightened that their legs went weak.
At close range, even Wanda, who had already seen many scenes, was frightened.
If he hadn't secretly glanced at Jiang Yin and found that Jiang Yin looked indifferent, I'm afraid he would have wanted to run away.
"Bold human, have you forgotten my explanation? How dare you trespass into my ancestral hall? ”
The head of this thing is triangular, with fins on both sides, and two fiery red antennae growing on the top of the head, which seem to have signs of turning into a dragon.
"It's not easy for you to practice so far, but why do you do this angry thing? Aren't you afraid of retribution and wasting a lifetime of penance? ”
Seeing that Jiang Yin's face was indifferent, he opened his mouth to question, and the giant snake gradually put away its fierce expression, and its head shook back and forth, as if it wanted to see who Jiang Yin was.
"Don't look at it, I'm going to kill you, I only need one move."
"However, you haven't made a big mistake yet, if you stop it as soon as possible, I can spare your life."
Hearing this, Chu Xia and Wanda's eyes suddenly widened.
This is too domineering, isn't it?
Such a stunning scene is so vulnerable in Jiang Yin's eyes?
For Jiang Yin's faceless words, the giant snake was not angry, although he didn't see the true strength of the other party, but he always felt that this seemed to be true.
Just as it hesitated, suddenly the eyes of the snake carving in the ancestral hall glowed red.
Immediately after, the giant snake's eyes also turned red, and with a sudden roar, it swooped down towards the three of them.
Jiang Yin stepped on the Seven Star Steps, and at the same time sealed with one hand, and formed a void talisman with one hand, and then shouted:
"Definitely!"
As soon as the words fell, a huge fixed word appeared out of thin air, in front of the three of them.
And the giant snake that had just rushed over was also instantly frozen in mid-air, and this moment seemed to be a static picture.
Jiang Yin stared at the eyes of the giant snake, then calculated, and between breaths, he suddenly turned to look at the snake statue on the archway.
Without waiting for the two of them to ask, Jiang Yin made a move, and one hundred and eight golden needles floated out, and then followed his guidance and inserted them into the ground around the ancestral hall.
The golden light on the golden needle flashed, and one hundred and eight gold threads began to extend from the golden needle, and they were directly connected together in the blink of an eye, forming a five-element gossip diagram.
"Hmph, you can't run, don't surrender quickly."
Both Chu Xia and Wanda seemed a little inexplicable, why Jiang suddenly shot at the ancestral hall after fixing the giant snake, and said something inexplicable.
At the same time, a hundred miles away, in a luxurious attic, a middle-aged man was making a strange pose, but his whole body seemed to be trapped by something, and his face was so red that he couldn't move for half a minute.
Finally, he couldn't help but speak: "You, who are you, dare to harm my good deeds." ”
The voice came from the snake statue, and it was only then that Chuxia and Wanda understood that Jiang Yin was dealing with another person.
"Hmph, if you don't do it, you have to do these crooked ways, see if I find you and eliminate harm for the world."
When the words fell, Jiang Yin changed his fingers, and wanted to follow this clue to find the person behind the scenes.
Suddenly, the snake statue shattered with a bang, and the middle-aged man who was hundreds of miles away instantly spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted instantly.
Jiang Yin's eyes were cold, obviously he was rarely unhappy when he ran away from this.
Turning its head to look at the serpent again, the blood-red in its eyes had disappeared, although it was still frozen in the air.
"Close!"
Jiang Yindao was lifted, and the giant snake immediately regained its freedom.
Shaking its head like a human, the giant snake was already deeply jealous when it looked at Jiang Yin again, and then it gently bent its head and said, "Thank you, Immortal Master!" ”
"Say it! What's going on? ”
Regarding Jiang Yin's words, the giant snake did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and said: "I am controlled by others, but I don't know who he is, and I don't know why he controls me." ”
"When?"
"About three months ago, when I had just achieved a small degree of cultivation and had a little spiritual wisdom, before I could be happy, I suddenly felt my body stiffen and completely lost control."
"Then a voice came to my head, and he told me to be obedient, or I would be wiped out with the flick of my fingers."
"At first, he asked me to eat a lot of those animals, and I refused, but he always made me lose control easily, I didn't even know who he was, but I kept feeling that my body was being manipulated by an inexplicable force."
"But just now, that feeling disappeared, it should be that you cut off my connection with him, and I will not be under his control anymore."
Hearing this, Jiang Yin remembered an ancient forbidden technique called "puppet technique".
